Abaribe Rocks “The Dot Nation ” T – Shirt

Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe Tuesday wore “The Dot Nation” T-Shirt to his office in the national assembly to showcase his “Igboness”.

It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had in a recent interview with Arise TV in Abuja described the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB as “a dot in a circle” who would not have anywhere to run to should they secede from Nigeria.

IPOB has been clamoring for self rule outside the Nigerian state, a development the government has vehemently resisted.

Buhari had said: “That IPOB is just like a dot in a circle. Even if they want to exit, they will have no access to anywhere.

“And the way they are spread all over the country, having businesses and properties, I don’t think IPOB knows what they are talking about.

Since making the statement, there had been a plethora of pictures of shirts, caps and other dresses with the inscription of “dot in a circle”, depicting acceptance of the presidential remark.
